The historical photograph shows the interior of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, highlighting its grand dome and Ottoman-era calligraphy panels, 1875... The image taken by Pascal Sébah or Sebah and Joaillier in the 1870s.

Completed in 537 AD during the reign of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, the Hagia Sophia stood as the world's largest cathedral for nearly 1000 years. Its massive central dome, spanning about 31m (102ft), was an engineering achievement that influenced religious architecture across Europe and the Middle East for centuries.

After the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453 AD, Sultan Mehmed II converted the building into a mosque. Christian mosaics were plastered over rather than destroyed, allowing many to survive into the modern era. Large roundels bearing the names of Allah, Muhammad, and the first Caliphs were added during 19th Century restorations.

The structure has endured earthquakes, fires, political upheaval, and nearly 1500 years of continuous use. In 1935 it became a museum under the Republic of Turkey, before being reconverted into a mosque in 2020.

The Hagia Sophia's dome rises about 55.6m (182ft) above the floor. When it was completed in the 6th century, contemporaries described it as appearing to float in the air because of the ring of windows at its base, an effect that still impresses visitors today.

For decades, she chose silence over fame, disappearing from headlines while carrying the legacy of two royal dynasties.

Imperial Princess Shahnaz Pahlavi was born on 27 October 1940 and became the only daughter and eldest child of Iran's last Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and his first wife, Princess Fawzia of Egypt, daughter of King Fuad I. Through her parents, she belonged to two of the most influential royal families of the Middle East, a heritage that attracted public fascination from an early age.

During the 1950s and early 1960s, Princess Shahnaz appeared in official portraits and ceremonial events, becoming one of the most recognizable young royals of her generation. Despite growing up amid luxury and political prominence, she preferred a quiet and private life. Unlike many public figures, she rarely sought attention and avoided involvement in state affairs or political debates.

The Iranian Revolution of 1979 changed the destiny of the Pahlavi family forever. After the monarchy was overthrown, members of the imperial family went into exile. Princess Shahnaz eventually settled in Switzerland, far from the palaces and ceremonies that had once defined her childhood. While many relatives remained active in public discussions, she chose a different path, keeping her personal life away from media attention.

Throughout the years, Princess Shahnaz maintained the same reserved character that had distinguished her mother, Princess Fawzia. She declined opportunities to publish memoirs and avoided becoming involved in political movements. Her preference for privacy contrasted sharply with the public roles embraced by some of her half-siblings, making her one of the least visible members of the former Iranian royal family.

Today, living quietly in Switzerland, Princess Shahnaz Pahlavi remains a figure surrounded by curiosity and nostalgia. Her story is not one of political ambition or public controversy, but of a woman who inherited the legacy of kingdoms and empires, yet deliberately chose a life away from fame, preserving her privacy while history continued to remember the dynasty from which she came.

The many wives of Henry VIII:

1. Catherine of Aragon — divorced
2. Anne Boleyn — beheaded
3. Jane Seymour — died in childbirth
4. Anne of Cleves — divorced, kept Hever Castle, outlived everyone
5. Catherine Howard — beheaded
6. Catherine Parr — survived (barely)

I'd say Anne made out just fine lol

Scientists have discovered a promising new way to help the immune system detect and attack hidden cancer cells.

A first-in-class drug called GRWD5769 (an oral ERAP1 inhibitor) has shown encouraging early results, shrinking tumors in patients with six different types of advanced cancer: lung, liver, bladder, cervical, head and neck, and colorectal.

In a Phase 1/1b clinical trial (EMITT-1) involving 83 heavily pre-treated patients across multiple countries, tumors shrank in 26 participants. Of those, 15 experienced reductions of at least 30%. Many patients had already failed prior therapies, including immunotherapies.

The drug works by blocking the enzyme ERAP1, which cancers often use to “edit” their surface proteins and evade immune detection. By inhibiting ERAP1, GRWD5769 alters the tumor’s antigen presentation, effectively removing the cancer’s invisibility cloak and making the cells more visible to the immune system. It was tested in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor cemiplimab (Libtayo).

Particularly strong signals were seen in certain hard-to-treat cancers. For example, disease control for at least six months was achieved in 51% of colorectal cancer patients and 55% of lung cancer patients in the expansion cohorts.

While these early results are promising, experts emphasize this is still an early-phase study. Larger trials are needed to confirm efficacy, durability of response, and impact on long-term survival.

If successful, this approach could expand the number of patients who benefit from immunotherapy — which currently works in only about one-third of cases.

In 1944, 18-year-old Norma Jeane Baker was a recently-married factory worker aiding the war effort at an aviation facility.

When an Air Force photographer happened to spot her on the job, he took her picture and helped put her on the path to pin-up modeling and then movie stardom under a new name: Marilyn Monroe.

Our government is stronger and wiser than they think.
The longer they attempt to close the Strait of Hormuz, the more they weaken themselves. They may start conflicts, but we stand ready to protect our nation. Iran-and the world need to know,
never underestimate the UAE.
As our President said, "The UAE is beautiful, but don't be deceived by its beauty, because our thin is thick and our blood is bitter 💪🏼.

[سيف الدرعي| Saif alderei @saif_aldareei]

After leaving OPEC, the UAE can now freely increase its oil production, thanks to the Fujairah Pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
The Emirates had planned and developed this independent export route for years, enabling it to add up to 2 million barrels per day.
A strategic game-changer in global oil markets that could help break the grip of high prices 😎
